Can a producer truly successfully step from behind the boards to in front of the mic? History is mixed. For every beatsmith to earn acclaim for their rhyme skills (Kanye) there’s another whose lyricism has been, um, let’s go with underwhelming. Which side of history will Omen find himself on? The answer begins in Forever, the first Booth feature for the man (so far) better known as a producer for J. Cole. True to form, Forever is an expertly produced track that begins as a softly symphonic cut, then explodes in sharply hitting percussion. Vocally, Omen is anything but light, attacking the mic without hesitation and lyrically delving into some of the same fearlessly autobiographical content that helped his Dreamville compatriot first standout. Whatever the final verdict on his rhyme skills, I think we can all agree the man’s no joke. Those still unsure about Omen’s future as an emcee can find plenty more evidence to arrive in the form of his upcoming Afraid of Heights Mixtape, which does not currently have a release date.

Its hard to "put on" other artists/producers when you are not official "on" yourself, but J. Cole has done a masterful job sharing the spotlight with his artist/in-house producer, Omen. "Forever" won't get people talking in circle that normally wouldn't care less, but its proof that talents folks flock to one another and that 2011 should be an excellent year for the DreamVille family.

First, my bad if anyone was confused on the initial write-up, there are two producer named Omen. It's been fixed.
Anyway, I don't think anyone's going to rush to proclaim him the next Kanye, but I also don't think there's any denying that he's got some real talent and vision. I'm down to hear some more from the man, let's do it.

A lot of words, but don't hear him "saying" anything. Lacks the voice/charisma to carry such a boring track.
